Hi everyone, I have been a long-time reader on this site and I am nearing the end of my process. I figured I would post my timeline along with the most useful tips I have learned.
MAR 28, 2021 - P3 Profile for BH created. I was informed by my Psychiatrist that I was now beginning the process.
APR 12, 2021 - Contacted by PEBLO. He asked me to collect all of my medical records and send them to him. He made my appointment with the MEB doctor as well as my appointment with him.
MAY 4, 2021 - Initial meeting with PEBLO
JUN 22, 2021 - Full physical with MEB doctor.
JUL 15, 2021 - I contacted QTC to see if they received my file, they had not. On July 16 they called back saying they had it and they scheduled all my appointments.
JUL 20-26, 2021. QTC appointments
AUG-SEP, radio silence. I called QTC several times and each time they told me that my file wasn't complete.
SEP 30, 2021 - QTC informs me that I need to retake an appointment.
OCT 4, 2021 - Final QTC Appointment.
OCT 15, 2021 - Signed NARSUM
NOV 2, 2021 - Submitted expedited memo for a job offer.
NOV 18, 2021 - Called VA and talked them into sending me my proposed ratings. 90%
NOV 19, 2021 - Received an email informing me that I need another QTC appointment and it has been scheduled for NOV 23. I am hoping I can get up to 100% after this appointment, but if not I am fine with 90. I also wasn't told what the breakdown of my disability is, or if I am TDRL or PDRL.
My PEBLO has not reached out to me at all during this time. I have called him and emailed him a lot but I rarely got anything helpful. I made more headway bothering QTC or the VA directly. I made sure to keep calling and questioning things every time I didn't receive an update. I am pretty sure the PEBLO is tired of me at this point, but my case is the most important thing going on to me right now so I am taking charge of it. Do not accept months of silence as an answer, PEBLO's, the VA, QTC, and the doctors involved in the case's job is to take care of us, make sure you make them do that.
I will update further once my case progresses some more
